You are right, URNs suit this problem a lot better than URI-style strings. For all of you who want to test that: If you have iTunes installed, type "itms:" into your browser's adress bar and hit return. 2006/8/5, Morbus Iff <morbus@disobey.com>:
I prefer the idea of internal:// over Drupal.
+1 from me also, for reasons others have already stated well.
In fact, I have a feeling that we should put an effort behind foo:// patterns as defacto standard for Drupal over [foo:] patterns.
Actually, for what it's worth, we should NOT use internal:// or *any* foo:// patterns. Doing so, even internally, is a creation of what appears to be a new protocol, even though it's actually not. We should instead create a new URN, such as internal:node/4. Apple, in the past two years or so, I think, got flamed for using webcal:// for it's iCal application, where webcal was merely a file format, and not a protocol.
